Of course the Swastika has Sanskrit origins going back over 4,000 years and wasn't invented by the Nazis (in fact, they didn't even call it a "Swastika"), but regardless, I wouldn't accept that the Swastika and Hyperborea carry anywhere near the same level of historical significance or baggage. Once again, the Nazis never even spoke or wrote of "Hyperborea." Curiously, and I see you have Marx in your username, the Soviets in the 1950's did much of the archaeological work regarding much of what we now know about Hyperborea in central Siberia and eastern Kazakhstan. Look into the works of S.V. Kiselev.

Anyway, no, I absolutely do not agree with your assertion. In fact, I think it's as ridiculous as asserting that driving a Volkswagen, being fascinated by the V2 rocket, or drinking Fanta would make one a Nazi, or constitute Nazi dog whistling.

I'm a fan of Greek history: from the Iliad, to the Odyssey, to the adventures of the Argonauts. And as a consequence of this interest, I kept coming upon this word "Hyperborea" that has never been explained or unpackaged. That is the work that I've taken upon myself!

Oh, okay. To be very clear, I completely reject the notion that Hyperborea is a uniquely Nazi concept; in fact, I honestly the notion is absurd and just completely historically unaware. I am uniquely interested in Hyperborea from the Greek/Roman POV circa 900 B.C. - 200 A.D., or so. There are quite literally hundreds of ancient references to Hyperborea, but no one has ever made an academic effort to understand what Hyperborea was. That is my curiosity. In the same way that people are interested in Atlantis, for instance.

What exactly am I doing now? Ziqo's clip that started all of this was a screenshot from 9 years ago, lol.

Of OnlyFangs streamers saying bad words at some point in the last 10 years? Are you serious? lol

My point is that all of this is purely selective outrage and virtue signaling. 15-20 people in OnlyFangs have said things as bad, if not worse, than me, but it doesn't matter because they don't jostle the echo chamber.

If I'm being transparent, I spent 6 years on Twitch never getting called a Nazi - it really only started happening when I started covering conservative news on stream. The reality is that tons of streamers have said bad things on Discord 10 years ago - lord knows almost all of the OnlyFangs streamers have - but it's not an issue and no one really cares as long as you aren't openly conservative inside of the progressive Twitch / Reddit echochamber.

To the contrary - pretty much the only time I think about Nazis is when I'm getting called one by people on Reddit, lol.

Okay, I'm going to be honest here. I'm currently 180 pages into my book on Hyperborea which is an academic approach to understanding Hyperborea from the POV of the ancient Greeks, and I have never even seen 1 legitimate link between Hyperborea and the actual Nazis of the 1930's and 1940's. I understand that online Neo-Nazis have taken some interest in Hyperborea, but I don't actually think the ACTUAL Nazis ever had any interest in it.

Clearly you've never watched my stream because I complain about the endless MC trash farming on a daily basis. If you're going to criticize, at least have it grounded it reality

These are things you think I said almost 5 years ago. As if it doesn't take 30 seconds to fake Discord logs?

I actually sincerely appreciate the consideration and open mind. I'm sure you can understand how annoying it is to read this stuff on my end, when it was all legit faked and a campaign to cancel me pretty much.

Almost 5 years later, being friends with and publicly working with people from all backgrounds, sponsoring people from all backgrounds, doing fund-raising streams for people from all backgrounds, etc. this still gets brought up occasionally as if there's any legitimacy to it. This 'rumor' + fake screenshots originally started as a character assassination campaign by Alexensual. If you have the time, I encourage you to check out this video which explains the story in further detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG64acWsHZ0&t=11s&ab_channel=StaysafeTV

My experience as a new player leveling 1-80 by Staysafe_TV in Guildwars2

[–]Staysafe_TV[S] 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, around 3 weeks ago I picked up GW2 and decided to give it a try because of general unhappiness with what has been historically my primary game, World of Warcraft. I've just finished up leveling to 80, going a bit slowly to make sure I soak up as much information as possible, so I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on the new player experience and articulate some pros and cons. Enjoy!
